TRYING TO BLK HIS OWN STATE.
Third Auditor Williams Advertising Himself

The letter John S. Williams. Third Auditor
of the Treasury has sent to the Secretary OF
War, suggesting that he should refuse to furnish
Indiana with her quota ct arms until the alleged
claim of SIC goo aganst the State is collected, is
regarded oy the State officers presumptuous

should be so persistent in trying to have his
State refund large amount of money when
there is no substantial proof that the debt is a

drawing public attention to this matter. and

and tells him that there is no valid claim pend

THE FRESENlUS AFFAIR.
The Firm Signs an Agreement and Ro-

The Firm Signs an Agreement and Ro-
pudiates 1t.
Some three weeks before Labor Day
the Union brewers employed at the Ere
senius' Brewery notified their employers
that they intended to participate in the
celebration of Labor's Holiday, and of
fered to do their work on Sunday night
in order that the firm should not suffer
by their absence on Monday
One of the men was subsequently asked
by the foreman if he intended to be away
on Monday, and he replied in the affirm
ative. He was discharged. The others
were asked, one by one, and they simply
said they would do what the others did
Their employer objected to the men
taking a holiday, and told them that if
they did So they would be discharged,
Nevertheless, the brewers turned out
with their fellow workmen on Labor
Day.
The uniriendly attitude of the firm
was made known to the public, and there
was considerable Indignation over it, re-
sulting in a refusal to drink Fresenlus
beer.
Last Wednesday afternoon the firm
requested a committee from the Trades
Council to settle the difficulty, and an
agreement was drawn up and signed by
two of the firm, providing for the rein
statement Of the union men, and the dis
charge of the non-union men including
a foreman who was particularly obnoA-
ious to the mon, and credited with caus-
ing i'll great part, the trouble between
the men an their employers,
Thursday morning at three o'clock the
men essayed to so to work under the
| terms of the agreement; but were refusd
admittance.
This exhibition of bad faith has natur-
ally incensed the jolly brewers, and they
are busily engaged as we go TO press,
in spreading the story of their wrongs
among the citizens.
1t would seem that the firm would
conserve their own interests 10y manly
acknowledgement of their error, and
thus end an unpleasantness which can
only work injury to all parties concerned.
As Il mere matter of business the firm
should consider well the consequences
of antagonlzing unreasonably the organ
lied workmen of this city and vicinity
We hope that before this copy of the
ALLOCATE is read that the matter will
be settled, notice of which will be given
10y circulars from the Brewers Union.

WHO Is THE LIAR
A Local Liar Lies to the Register
The Lie Printed.

Local liar Lies 10 the Register '--
The Lie Printed.
A misleading in last Sundays Register
reads as follows:
SOCIALISTS CHANGE GROUND.
"New Haven Socialists in common with
Socialists elsewhere, have always been
strongly opposed to the use of plate
matter by newspapers, and prevented it
where they could. OF late a sudden
change has taken place, and the New
Haven Socialists have just elected a dele.
cation to the national convention soon
to be held in Buffalo, which is instructed
to urge the convention to sanction the
use of plates. II is said that the Social.
ist organs find so little pecuniary sup
port in their doctrines that they cannot
keep a going without the inexpensive
plates"
In the first place the Socialists as a
body have never been opposed to the use
of plate-matter; neither have they ia
vored it. The question never was con
sidered The delegate to the Buffalo
convention from New Haven has re
ceived no instructions upon the matter
There is absolutely nothing to give color
to the story. There was some talk of hav-
ing IL central printing office for the Party,
and the probability would be that books
and periodicals would be electrotyped or
stereotyped just as they are in every
we'll regulated Union book concern; and
a further probability is that the work
would he done within the pale of Organ
lied Labor
As to the support of Socialist papers,
all we have to do is to point to the daily
New York FoikSzeitnmg, the daily Phla,
dclphia 7oNbldtt, the daily indianapolis
1rib,u'e, the SOciolist the WoRKMEN' S
ADVOCATE, and Il large number of other
weekly papers which are pro Socialist in
their tone, and clearly Socialstic in their
comprehension of the object of the labor
movement. In proportion to the mum
Der of confessed Socialists there are nc
| papers that receive more unanimous sup
port.
OF course they want more support
not for the sake of profit, but for the
sake of spreading the light and con.
founding the Shiny creatures who sneak
behind the elbows of the reporters of
capitalist papers and endeavor to injure
their best friends by spreading falsehood
The personality of the liar will be
withheld for time, which will give oul
friends an opportunity for practising the
Yankee virtue of guessing.

PRISON LABOR.
Prison Contractors and Onicials at tn.
County Jail Quarrel.

Prison Contractors and Onicials at the
County Jail Quarrel.
1t seems there is trouble among the
County Commissioners and the officers of
the County Jail. The ne sspapers in
commenting upon it seem not to under
stand the real causes, but it is only so in
appearance. They don't want to expose
the meat in the kernel.
It may not be generally known that
the labor of the prisoners is sold by the
year to contractors for comparatively
insignificant sum, from which the CON
tractors derive a handsome income, en-
aiding them to live upon the fat of the
land; and that they do not neglect to so
live is manifest in their bloated forms
and features. 1t should be observed
that the contract price is the same
whether there are few or many. The
contractors are always safe in making
their bid, calculating upon the past year.
as the number of prisoners are constant
ly increasing with the increase of wealth
AT the present time there are a large
nuiilpcl VI pllSolltIS ColllIeu Ill llle lali,
and the contract is perfect bonanza
The contractors, being shrewd business
men, want to make the most of it, or, in
other words, to "work the thing for all
it is worth; for the accomplishment of
which they want to dictate the whole
management of the institution, and they
are supposed to have a strong ''pull'
with the Commissioners. But the Jail
officers, having some little conscience,
stand between the contractors and the
poor prisoners. Overseer Maher is said
to have been unsatisfactory to the con-
tractors because he would not be their
humble servant. The sheriff doesn' t
take that view of it. The contractors
object to having any efficient and reia-
bic man taken from the shop to fill re-
sponsible positions about the Jail
But neither County Commissioners
Jail officers, nor the newspapers propose
any remedies for these troubles OF all
that are mentioned privately, there is
but one worthy of consideration, viz.
the abolition of the contract system.
No reform need be expected from the
County Commissioners, elected as they
are by a rotten borough legislature and
representing nobody but themselves.

Six Members of the Land and Labor
Club Mean Business.
Last Sunday afternoon there was
meeting Of the Land and Labor Club at
their hail in Lamar block. Before the
meeting began there was some discus
sion upon the affairs of the George party
in New York, and the accommodation
Of certain delegates at the Syracuse
convention. After the meeting was
called to order and the routine business
transacted, an anti-Socialist member
started out to speak on the action Of the
New York difficulty. Thereupon anoth-
or member who confesscs tn the gentle
impeachment Of being II Socialist, arose
to point of order, and said he hoped
that the quarrel Of New York would not
be brought into the New Haven Club.
The chairman decided IN favor of the
first speaker who then moved "rhat
any member who is not III favor of the
Syracuse platform leave the hall.
No one left
1t was then moved "that the club en-
dorsc the platform of the Labor Party of
of New Haven on which we polled 300
votes for Mr.. Peter Lynch for Mayor"
An amendment to adopt the Syracuse
platform followed, and the whole matter
was tabled.
The chairman then left the chair and
moved chat the club endorse the action
Of the Syracuse convention in expelling
the Socialists" This was promptly
voted down without debate.
Another motion was made to approve
Of the Syracuse platform, and upon re-
quest it was read, and an amendment
was made to approve of it entire, with
out criticism. But the members would
not be gagged and began to criticize.
Finally the whole matter was again
tabled.
Six members voted against the Social
lists, and after adjournment one of them
said that at the next meeting the Social
lists would be bounced. The next meet
ing takes place on the 18th inst.

winter. That is, the existing weakness did
not show itself till their city, banks were
called on to cash out to the zsestern CORE
spondents. But of late the currents seem
to have changed their seasons"
Only a days investigation in Wall
street is needed to explain another fact
why the rate of interest has declined SO
much in recent years There has been
great increase in the volume of currency,
it is true; but that is not the main reason,
for our usual experience has been that
prices advanced at least at equal pace
with the advance of currency volume, and
so the rate of interest was rather increased
than diminished by redundant currency.
The key fact is that an improved system,
higher civilization, dispenses with the
use of currency in large transactions
money is only the small change of busi-
ness. In the .sgood old times" the
farmer, on the line of the Wabash and
Erie canal for instance, hauled his wheat
to the canal warehouse and sold it for
cash; the grain merchant shipped it to
Toledo and received his cash; SO the Toledo
man had to have cash from his consignee
in New York, and the village merchant
on the Wabash in his turn brought the
cash back to New York when he came for
goods. Now the grain factor in the west

road town; the banker can telegraph the
